Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Speaking of GDM, the plan[1] for Fedora 7 is to use Fast User Switching with GDM face browser by default, so:
- I think we should talk about this, to be sure how it will look (Ubuntu people are talking about 3D effects with AIGLX[2])
- start making GDM theme mockups and themes with a face browser
- think if we need additional faces (there are some in /usr/share/pixmaps/faces/ not sure if those are enough/original/pretty)

Hi Nicu!
Garrett Lesage and myself did some initial work on this some time ago.
http://primates.ximian.com/~glesage/wiki/user_pictures

From your link:

"Animals
* Zebra
* Giraffe
* ..."

It looks like a cool project: "who lives near a cool zoo and could take a nice photo of a zebra? or a giraffe?"

We can ask people to contribute in a pool of images as large as possible, let the package maintainers so select a subset to be included as default in the distro and leave the others online for manual installation (think: photo zebra, vector zebra, cartoon zebra, baby zebra, caricature zebra).

And not last: we want a user pictures collection to be distro specific, upstreamed to GNOME or upstreamed to f.d.o (GDM and KDM)?

As for technical details[1], it seems we currently can use only jpg and png (no svg) and the maximum size is 128x128
